About XUL

XUL Architecture is a RIBA Chartered practice with over 10 years of experience who specialises in high quality design of residential and commercial projects. We are very well established in NW London with over 200 completed projects.

We are located in the beautiful Belsize Village, close to transport and local amenities. We recognise the importance of supporting our team and have in the past worked with 'Engage and Grow' to bring out the best in each one of us. We have also introduced the team to 'Mindfulness and Meditation' with The Breathe Academy. We have a wonderful small team and get together frequently for CPD, social outings and lunches. There are great opportunities to grow within the business.

What we believe in

We are a commercially minded, client centred architecture practice and believe as a team we should be designing beautiful and functional buildings, at the same time making the architecture profession profitable.

We believe architecture is as much about relationships as it is about design, so we put great emphasis on customer service. We believe the key to a successful project is 50% the journey and 50% the finished project.

Our extensive research is based around finding ways in which we could bring more natural light into architecture as this has positive impact on wellbeing, productivity and creativity.

Company

We are an award winning practice specialising in the high quality design of residential and commercial properties. Our team operates from the heart of Belsize Village in north-west London.

Since opening the practice in 2008 we have completed over 100 projects and delivered a total contract value of over 20 million pounds.

Philosophy: We work across a range of sectors and our particular expertise is working with existing buildings, including those with historic value.

We treat each project as a new challenge and deliver, with passion, innovative design solutions that are at the cutting edge of modern day architectural practice.

1. Design: We see design as a collaborative process and place great importance in consultation with clients, consultants and end users. We act on the client’s behalf when dealing with other parties such as contractors, planning authorities and consultants.

2. Quality: We recognise how vital it is to follow a client’s brief by deploying a high level of design skills and architectural knowledge as well as managing the time and resources of a project team effectively.

We pride ourselves in our inclusive approach and excellent track record, with 60% percent of our work coming from referrals from previous clients.

3. Light: XUL is an anagram of Lux, which means “light” in Latin. We are continuously researching different ways of introducing natural light to architecture.
